Shockingly, a counterfeit factory has produced a 3-nanometer chip.

Chapter 499 The Relationship with the Waveguide Brand!

"Don't worry, I, Shen Fei, have always valued integrity in business."

Once the share transfer is completed, the evidence will naturally disappear.

However, if we want to contain the virus, we'll need at least a 6% stake, since it's something our engineers worked so hard to develop...

I cannot waste their hard work!

"You're trying to raise the price on the spot."

"I am threatening you, but of course you can choose not to talk about it."

After all, we have stated that we have the right to retaliate in kind for this matter.

No matter what happens, they'll help me suppress it!

"you……"

Sundar Pichai was furious on the other end of the phone.

After all, Chinese culture is profound and extensive. Even though the characters are the same, the answers can be worlds apart depending on the context.

Transsion is always vengeful; with just that one Star Shield system, it could probably cripple Android.

It's not about Dave Burke, that traitor...

To call this a person with a conscience when they've been threatened to this extent is simply outrageous; he's clearly a bandit!

"Are you sure you can contain this virus?"

"Of course, if you're willing to add another 0.5 share, I can even hand over its security system to you..."

"That won't be necessary. I will push for the 6% stake. I hope you can keep your word."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Fei smiled. It was just a small virus. The Star Shield system could generate similar viruses at any time, and even more powerful viruses were a piece of cake.

Trading it for 1% of Google shares is an absolute steal.

……

Shen Fei hung up the phone, and Liu Zhihong pushed open the door and walked in:

"Mr. Shen, the latest data we've received indicates that the base has indeed exploded. They found some debris there, but..."

"Let them drag it!"

Anyway, we've already taken a piece of the pie from Google—6% of the shares, plus what we had before…we're now firmly the largest shareholder in Google.”

Zhang Mingzhu also casually reminded him, "Will they really agree?"

A 6% stake could cripple them.

Yes!

But once we launch a counterattack using StarShield, Google can't afford the cost, and they'll have no choice but to accept this outcome.

Zhang Mingzhu thought for a moment, then nodded: "That's right, they owe us, and someone has to pay for it."

"Silver Lake Capital is the direct actor, but it is a capital company, so we can't touch it. We can only let the higher-ups take action."

But we can't let ourselves suffer losses for nothing.

Google is just interest.

…………

Meanwhile, on the other side, Lu Weibin was preparing for the launch of his new brand.

Just as Google was preparing for the share transfer, Lu Weibin, along with Transsion and Waveguide, jointly announced this good news:

Transsion Holdings Group officially announced the relaunch of its classic national brand, Bird, with Mr. Lu Weibin appointed as CEO, responsible for the brand's overall operation and product development.

This is Transsion's first all-around sub-brand, covering a wide range of price points and bringing more high-quality, affordable products to consumers.

Below that was an image and a newly upgraded logo.

The logo design was personally participated in by Lu Weibin. It takes the wings of battle as its core and perfectly blends the classic fighter jet outline with futuristic technology elements.

The main world uses a metallic texture with a gradient of titanium silver and obsidian black, with a sharp diamond cut in the middle, symbolizing a sophisticated chip structure.

The streamlined light wings that unfold on both sides are composed of dynamic particles, resembling the moment a fighter jet breaks the sound barrier...

Overall, with this rebranding, Bird is no longer just a fighter jet among mobile phones... it is a fighter jet.

Furthermore, the official announcement directly revealed the first collaboration, which will involve 10 different units!

This instantly created a huge buzz, and just as everyone was preparing to discuss it, Lu Weibin also posted a long article on his personal Weibo account.

"Many people ask me why I left my familiar work environment to join Transsion and take over a brand that had long been shelved."

"Actually, the answer is very simple."

"More than ten years ago, when I first came into contact with digital products, the first domestic mobile phone here was Bird."

During the era of feature phones, Bird's development exceeded everyone's expectations. The phrase "the fighter jet among mobile phones" became a popular saying across the country and is the earliest memory of domestic mobile phones for countless Chinese people.

It was the first domestic mobile phone brand to dare to compete head-on with international brands. It represents the youth of a generation and is a microcosm of the early days of domestic mobile phones.

Later, with the advent of the smartphone era, Bird gradually faded from public view. Then, due to certain events... Bird was acquired and completely disappeared from public view.

"But the Bird brand still exists, and its R&D team is still there..."

We are sincerely looking to acquire the Bird brand, and we have been waiting for the right opportunity all these years.

Once our entire industrial chain is complete, and we have no shortage of chips and other supply chains, we will definitely restart this platform.

The time has come.

We will never live in the past. It will be equipped with the brand-new Taishan system, test preparation and tone conversion technology and a world-class supply chain, focusing on cost-effectiveness for all, and making high-quality mobile phones that everyone can afford.

Let the waveguide, this fighter jet, fly all over the world again.

Meanwhile, at Transsion's African R&D base, one of the research assistants, who was doing odd jobs, suddenly sneezed!

I have a feeling that they were... The R&D team of Waveguide is still there, but most of them have been squeezed out to the R&D center in Africa.

However, in Lu Weibin's comment section, many people immediately forwarded these messages:

"Congratulations to Transsion! Congratulations to Lu Weibin on adding another powerful member to the domestic mobile phone industry. We look forward to Bird bringing more and better products and working together to expand the market for domestic mobile phones."

As a direct competitor, Lighting quickly responded in the comments section: "Welcome back to the smart terminal track. A hundred flowers blooming is spring. We look forward to working with Bird to bring consumers a better domestic experience."

[PS: Let's kill them together, and take out some of the little bugs too.]

Official accounts from both Sapphire and OPPO also left comments, while brands like Meizu chose to wait and see.

"Holy crap, Bird won the revival round? And Lu Weibin took over... That cost-effective manufacturer is probably in trouble?"

"Upstairs, are you talking about Zhao Ming? After all, he has his own son, why would he need a dog like him?"

"The ultimate mobile phone! This slogan sounds so familiar... This is a dream collaboration."

"Ye Qing is back!"

"If Mr. Lu focuses on cost-effectiveness, wouldn't Bird be able to equip even budget phones with 2K screens and large memory?"

"The only ones that will truly die are rice manufacturers and other producers unwilling to switch to domestic supply chains..."

"Redmi is in danger."

"What Redmi? This is clearly aiming to challenge Redmi's dominance."

"Mr. Lu, are you sure the first product will be exactly the same as the official description?"

Lu Weibin also specifically replied: "We have reached a cooperation agreement with the relevant manufacturers, and the first product of Bird in the 2000 price range has been confirmed to be linked. Please look forward to it!"

The product is about to be released!

Meanwhile, at Kyoto Rice Company, Bird's sudden official announcement did make him feel a little uneasy.
